			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Light Bulbs" src="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/light_bulbs.jpg" alt="" width="347" height="235" /></p>
<p>It is not as easy as it appears to select the correct wattage for lighting and other electrical fixtures. There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing wattage for light and other electrical fixtures.</p>
<p>Firstly, the wattage chosen for the electrical fixtures should be such that it will not cause overheating or fires. Secondly, proper assessment of wattage requirements should be made. This is because incorrect wattage will affect overall energy efficiency in the house.</p>
<p>For instance, a twenty-watt fluorescent bulb can give off the same power of light than 75 to 100 watts of traditional of incandescent light bulb.</p>
<p>Thirdly, evaluation of how much lighting is essential for each specific area, like kitchen, bedrooms or living room. Finally, a wattage that matches the specifications of fixtures should be chosen.</p>
<p>It is very important to select the right wattage as a safety measure and to ensure that fixtures are not damaged due to overheating.</p>
<p>If a brown spot is observed on the insulation it means that the wrong wattage of light bulb has been fixed in a fixture. The <a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/home-solar-power/should-you-replacement-your-old-home-electrical-wiring/">electrical wiring</a> may also turn fragile due to continuous exposure to high temperatures from the bulb. It is essential to use the same wattage as recommended on the fixture’s warning label in order to prevent accidental fires in the home.</p>
<h1>Home Lighting Power Consumption</h1>
<p>It is important to know how high wattage affects the efficient use of electrical energy in the house. The efficiency factor is, normally, superior in higher watt bulb and it emits <a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/energy-efficient/designer-edge-l949-solar-led-lights/">brighter light</a> than a smaller watt bulb.</p>
<p>In view of this, it is advantageous to use one fixture with a high power bulb instead of two lamps with less power. However, if a fluorescent bulb is proposed instead of ordinary incandescent bulbs, the same wattage is not required as a 20 watt fluorescent bulb gives out the same amount of light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb.</p>
<p>A great care is needed while selecting light bulbs for a kitchen as illumination there is quite important. The lighting in the workspace should be normally at least 100 watts of incandescent bulb or 25 watts of fluorescent lighting.</p>
<p>The lighting in working area in the kitchen includes either fixture on the ceiling or ‘under-cabinet’ lights. An electrical contractor can install both these fixtures correctly. The general norm is that there should be at least 100 watts of incandescent bulbs or 25 watt of fluorescent lights for every 50 square feet of kitchen space. This way the kitchen area will be brightly lit and every little object would be clearly seen.</p>
<h2>Rooms Ambient Lighting</h2>
<p>There is a simple method to assess the ‘ambient lighting’ for a living room or bedrooms. First measure the area of the room and multiply the area in square feet by 1.5 times to arrive the amount of total illumination required. For instance, the area 12 feet by 16 feet room is 192 square feet and the wattage required is 288.</p>
<p>For a room of this size, two table lamps with 150 watt bulbs or 8 fixtures with 40 watt bulbs will be required to get proper illumination. As it is quite difficult to select correct wattage for a home, it will be useful to avail the services of an electrical contractor to suggest how to correctly illuminate a room.</p>
<p>As a general norm, areas that require brightness such as kitchen may require light bulbs with high power lighting. For bed rooms and family rooms, however, lower watts will be sufficient for <a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/tools/concept-sl-100-led-solar-security-light-review/">ambient lighting</a>.</p>
<p>Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs emit different amounts of light with the same wattage and therefore, it is also essential to compare ‘light output’.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Energy2Green web site" src="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/energy2green.jpg" alt="" width="362" height="271" /></p>
<p>When I was doing my research on DIY home renewable energy, I came across Tomas Haynes’ <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5068">Energy2Green e-book</a></strong>. Its main web site is at <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5068">www.energy2green.com</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Personally, I quite like the web site design and color scheme. I think the little character looks a lot like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein">Albert Einstein</a>.</p>
<p>Energy2Green is the only home energy guide that has been seen on TV channels such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, Discovery Channel and PBS. None of the other guide has such accolade.</p>
<p>When you read the copy on Energy2Green web site, it has a pretty interesting twist to it. It turns out, Tomas’s guide started off as an engineering project for a university.</p>
<p>The project has 4 simple goals:</p>
<p>1) Work within a budget of under $500.</p>
<p>2) Construct a working solar panel and windmill with everyday building material.</p>
<p>3) The design must be simple so an “average Joe” can understand.</p>
<p>4) Combat global warming at the micro level.</p>
<p>When they finally came up with a winning design, it was put to the test by high school students.</p>
<p>High school students actually made their own solar and wind power system by following the step by step instruction in Energy2Green. Pretty awesome!</p>
<p>Tomas Haynes promised on his web site, anyone that follows his guide will be able to reduce their home electricity bill up to 80 percent!</p>
<p>Is that even possible?</p>
<p>That depends on your current home electricity consumption and how many electrical devices you have. If you are willing to get rid of power hungry devices such air-conditioner, <a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/home-solar-power/solar-water-heater-plans/">water heater</a>, microwave, refrigerator etc, it is possible to reach that goal.</p>
<p>A home solar or wind power system can easily be scaled up to produce more energy. When you have more electricity than you need for your daily consumption, you can now sell the excess back to the power utility company!</p>
<p>So what’s my verdict on Tomas Haynes <a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/energy-2-green/energy-2-green-review-is-energy2green-another-scam/">Energy2Green manual</a>?</p>
<p>It is very informative and helpful if you are planning to make your own home renewable energy system to reduce your electricity bills.</p>
<p>If a bunch of high school students can follow the instructions and made their own solar panel and wind turbine, I’m sure you can too.</p>

<p>I checked my blog visitors’ log yesterday and I noticed a lot of people came to my blog because they typed in the phrase <strong>“energy2green scam”</strong>.</p>
<p>At first, I could not understand why.</p>
<p>I thought about it for a while and I think I have the answer. However, I am not entirely sure about it though.</p>
<h2>Energy 2 Green E-book</h2>
<p>Firstly, it is about the e-book Energy 2 Green. If you are not familiar with it, it is a pdf manual that teaches you how to build your own DIY solar panels with minimal cost.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5054">Energy 2 Green</a></strong> started off as a university project with 4 main goals:</p>
<p>1)	To design and build working windmills and solar panels using material that any average person can locate and buy.</p>
<p>2)	To keep costs under $500 so any average person can afford to implement.</p>
<p>3)	To make the designs simple enough that any average person can make their own windmills and solar panels using simple step-by-step instructions.</p>
<p>4)	To ultimately reduce greenhouse emissions and combat global warming at the micro level.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Energy 2 Green is a the collect of the best designs of the project. The author, Tomas Haynes decided to written about the results and share it with the masses.</p>
<h2>The Element of Uncertainty</h2>
<p>A lot of people may not have bought anything from the internet before. To be honest, the first time I did it, I was quite nervous as well.</p>
<p>I guess a lot of people heard about the Energy 2 Green e-book and is keen to find out more. The problem is, they are uncertain. I believe their main concern is the “fear” of getting scam.</p>
<p>So, to check if the Energy 2 Green manual is a fraud, they simply type in the phrase “energy2green scam” in the search engine to see the results. And that is when one of my blog post popped up.</p>
<h2>The Product Guarantee</h2>
<p>If you are not very certain and think you might be scammed, not to worry. I have a copy of Energy 2 Green, the quality is pretty good.</p>
<p>For your ease of mind, it also comes with a 60 days money back guarantee. Meaning, if for whatever reason you do not like what you’ve purchased, you can ask for a full refund within 60 days from the purchase date.</p>
<p>I think the guarantee is much better than what you’ll get from a conventional book store. If you don’t believe me, try asking for a refund of a book you’ve bought from Borders or Barnes and Nobel after 2 months.</p>
<p>If this article gave you some level of certainly, you can get your copy of the Energy 2 Green e-book from the link below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">Energy 2 Green Comprehensive Review</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Energy2Green" src="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/energy2green2-e1315960264397.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="345" /></p>
<p>In this blog post, want to write about another <a href="http://www.diysolarhomes.com/">renewable energy guide</a> I found few days ago. It is <strong><a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/energy2green_site" rel="nofollow">Energy 2 Green</a></strong>. This would be my comprehensive <strong>Energy 2 Green review</strong> post.</p>
<h2>Energy 2 Green First Impression</h2>
<p>Energy 2 Green can be found from its main site at <strong><a href="http://diysolarhomes.com/blog/energy2green_site" rel="nofollow">www.energy2green.com</a></strong>. <em>What was my first impression of the web site?</em> Honestly, I quite like it. The graphics are really good with excellent sales copy on the site. <em>What does all this mean?</em> Well, it shows there are more than one person behind the product. It takes quite some time and a substantial investment to create such a high quality site. So far so good&#8230;</p>
<p>Being impressed with the web site, I&#8217;ve decided to purchase Energy 2 Green. Some people may be wandering&#8230;<em>Is Energy2Green just another scam?</em> That&#8217;s what I wanted to find out.</p>
<h2>Finding The Author</h2>
<p>The author of the e-book is <strong>Tomas Haynes</strong>. A quick Google on his name did not reveal much information. Other than a Myspace page of a guy from Australia with the same name, Thomas Haynes. Some how I doubt he is the person I am looking for.</p>
<p>Haynes may not even be a real person. He may be a <strong>marketing spoke person</strong> used as part of the marketing strategy by www.energy2green.com. Many e-book publishers use the same strategy, hence I am not too concern. What I want is the information, not it&#8217;s packaging.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s In Energy 2 Green?</h2>
<p>If you have never come across any renewable energy guides on the web, most of them are pretty similar. The guides will show you how to make either a <strong>Do It Yourself (DIY) solar panel</strong> or a <strong>residential wind generator</strong>. Most manuals will promise that you can get it done with a budget of less than $200, in actual fact, you have to spend more than that.</p>
<p>You can save a lot of money by sourcing for used or recycled parts as suggested by the guides, but it will simply take too much of your time. Personally, I would just invest the money to purchase the parts from a hardware store.</p>
<p>All in all, the information in Energy 2 Green is pretty well written out. Easy to understand with lots of graphics, pictures and diagrams. There are also <strong>instructional videos</strong> included with the package. That is a plus point!</p>
<h2>Satisfaction Guaranteed</h2>
<p>Since Energy2Green is offered under <strong>Clickbank</strong>, you are automatically covered by their <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/refund_policy_faq.html" rel="nofollow">60 Days Money Back Guarantee policy</a>. If for whatever reasons you do not see any value in the e-book, just ask for your money back. Since I am quite impressed with the web site and material quality, I have decided to keep my copy.</p>
<h2>Energy2Green Review Conclusion</h2>
<p>In conclusion, I think Energy 2 Green is very well written and high quality. If you would like to know how you can build your own DIY solar panels or wind generator, you can give Energy 2 Green a shot.</p>
